Netflix cancels V Wars and October Faction

The Ian Somerhalder-led sci-fi horror vampire series and the supernatural drama starring Tamara Taylor and J. C. MacKenzie are both one and done at Netflix. V Wars, which premiered Dec. 5, and October Faction, which launched Jan. 23, were both based on comic books from IDW Publishing. The cancelations comes hours after another comic-book based series, Locke & Key, was renewed for Season 2. V Wars and October Faction join recent one-and-done Netflix shows Messiah, AJ and the Queen, Spinning Out, Soundtrack and Daybreak. "The cancellations arrive as Netflix, which does not release viewership, continues to make renewal and cancellation decisions based on their internal data," says The Hollywood Reporter's Lesley Goldberg. "The streamer reviews their returns and considers if the financial investment in another season will be valuable to its subscribers or if those funds would be better served with new content that draws more sign-ups to its service."
